My wife always acts a little weirded out, but then is much happier with the clean look.I had to shave the back of one of my soldiers in Iraq... Weird experience, but I felt so bad for the guy. Hairy like animal.

Dang, you weren't kidding, 64 for a back razor. Ouch, I think I will just have my wife do it. LOLthat's the bakblade, I got it off amazon, then the bakblade 2.0 came out so I snagged that one. I THINK i got the new one because they had changed the blade cartridges and had to. The first time you use new blades you can definitely make your back bleed but after a couple uses you can pretty much just scratch your back all over with no cuts until the blades are finally dull enough to replace again.
holy crap the prices went up though. looks like I bought the first one in 2016 and the 2.0 in 2021 according to my order history. price is almost double now, but honestly still cheaper than paying someone to do it...
Yeah, I can see how that might be weird!I had to shave the back of one of my soldiers in Iraq... Weird experience, but I felt so bad for the guy. Hairy like animal.
Yeah, my wife gets a little nervous she might cut me but doesn't seem to bother her otherwise. She will take care of me for the next couple of months I am sure. Luckily I just have a little hair, not thick or course hair on my back.My wife always acts a little weirded out, but then is much happier with the clean look.
my ex was into that, but she was also a pimple popper. some boundaries my wife and I have not yet broached so grooming is still on me, lol.Dang, you weren't kidding, 64 for a back razor. Ouch, I think I will just have my wife do it. LOL
What scenario leads you to needing to shave someone's back??I had to shave the back of one of my soldiers in Iraq... Weird experience, but I felt so bad for the guy. Hairy like animal.
When I used to watch cartoons as a kid, I thought industrial-sized sheets of fly paper were going to be a way bigger problem in my adult life than they turned out to be.What scenario leads you to needing to shave someone's back??
135 degree weather in full battle rattle lolWhat scenario leads you to needing to shave someone's back??
Had to cut off his hair sponge eh, got tired of him ringing it out after a hard days work.135 degree weather in full battle rattle lol
He was a BIG guy, probably 6'3" and I know he was ~250. Watched him DL 700 by the end of deployment. Big ol teddy bear of a guy though. He got to carry the big machine guns lol.Had to cut off his hair sponge eh, got tired of him ringing it out after a hard days work.

Fair point, he probably weighed more. He was lean, but he got in trouble regularly for the way the "army standards" calculate body fatMe at 5’10” and 250lbs with body dysmorphia, when people talk about 6’3” people weighing 250 being a big guy:
In his defense, that’s definitely pretty easy to do in the military. My best friend was usually 170s with some abs around 5’7”, and he was getting lectured every army physical about his weight - when it was obviously all lean mass.Fair point, he probably weighed more. He was lean, but he got in trouble regularly for the way the "army standards" calculate body fat
I was 150lb when I joined and ran my 2 mile in 11:15, but couldn't do 25 push-ups. I got out at 215 doing 100 push-ups and running a 15min 2 mile lmaoSo true, when I went to boot camp they had to get a waiver for me to join because I was like 20 over what I was supposed to be at my height. They even put me in the diet group in Boot Camp for a while. I came out at like 178 with abs, and was still overweight for my height, and maxed out sit ups and push ups and very close to maxing out the run, but I am a sprinter so I was so gassed at the end I fell down when I crossed the finish line.
lol they probably should have rejected you the first time and said come back when you're 190I was 150lb when I joined and ran my 2 mile in 11:15, but couldn't do 25 push-ups. I got out at 215 doing 100 push-ups and running a 15min 2 mile lmao
Yeah I don't know, if my contract runs out I'll probably look into refinancing where I'm at to get the ex wife off the title and get her her share of the equity, then HELOC to access my share and fix the place up some.Dude I'm glad to hear it might just be stress overall, I hope ironically, that that would lower your stress a little bit? At least you know it's a mild burden to bear for now that will pass in time.
Is it possible to go FSBO at a lower price and clear the same seller net proceed? I know places like redfin had to raise rates though so I have no idea what the going rates are for FSBO marketing or if you can get on MLS via FSBO anymore...?
Plus you gotta be prepared for your re-release into the wildProbably also moving into a hypertrophy program until I can get my **** together again.
Choose some training you enjoy! Don’t worry about labels, or stress about frequency. Just try to go to the gym as often as you can for the time & energy you have. Maybe that’s only 40 minutes of “arms”, maybe some days you do some squats or pulls if you have the desire.Probably also moving into a hypertrophy program until I can get my **** together again. Especially with the physical load if working at the brewery, stress/cortisol levels, low food consumption, strength training is asking for some trouble at this point, I think.
That was the name of the herb I was thinking of. Also maybe some St. John's wort, it is good to calm nerves and anxiety which could lower stress levels or hormones anyway.Some ashwaghanda might also help. I've used KSM-66 in the past for stress, although I think anecdotally Sensoril is more supposed to be for that.
Yeah I feel you. Picking up the brewery work is two days of intense physical labor as well, nothing in there is automated and it's a 20bbl (31gal per bbl) system, meaning lots of hauling grains around before and after the brew. I also got 15k steps Saturday on an easy brew day lol.Choose some training you enjoy! Don’t worry about labels, or stress about frequency.

Never give up on the gym - it will never give up on you, and it’s always glad to see you whenever you can find the time. Beyond training, there is the need for exercise & mental health. 3 minutes 30x a week makes a big difference in longevity!
My favorite to have on hand is usually Steves Pump Addict. I actually have some sitting next to me at my desk right now, lol. That All Out that I just logged for Iconic was solid stuff as well. hits hard.I'm out of preworkout, stopped and snagged a few Ghost energy drinks, never had them before but they have a pretty solid, if not underdosed, ingredient list. not too shabby.
Pump addict is my favorite, I do add some alpha gpc from nootropics depot to it. I need to make a BIG supp order, reviving the bank from my due diligence/earnest money still lolMy favorite to have on hand is usually Steves Pump Addict.

I have run ghost many times as an "emergency" when I'm out of preWO and am getting ready to order more from Steve but I hate that they separate the stim free pump matrix from their stimmed up preWO. the ready made energy drinks I have grabbed a number of times to take on a round of golf instead of joining the guys in beer. I think the Alpha GPC and zero calorie caffeine source are good for my energy and mental clarity in that scenario but generally speaking definitely prefer pump addict and now All Out over ghost.
I know that feel, lol.I need to make a BIG supp order, reviving the bank from my due diligence/earnest money still lol
Lol I'm only running joint stuff and pepti plex right now, I feel deflated and have less "pep" I associate with test boostersI can't decide if I for sure see the Alpha GPC results, but it seems like at a high enough dose maybe. either way I keep trying lol
There are these "Alpha Pouches" nootropic snuff. Like zynnies but it's basically just a little caffiene and alpha gpc. seems like it's dosed too low to do anything though.
I know that feel, lol.
I'm actually really sorta happy to be wrapping up a shitton of supps I have from Steve right now cause I sorta want to go a short period with nothing in my system and then come at it with a new state of mind to re-up. thing is I'm sorta spoiled right now cause I went right from the epiandro run into my phosphatidic acid xt so I'm guessing when my anabolic effect and PA XT both run out I'll feel like a miserable flabby sack of crap
Agreed, although I'm going to start adding back in now that the hives are managed. Going to wait to see if I can get the Sustain Alpha log, or else it's time to re up Alpha Gelyou got a lot going on too, a vacation might do you well lol
yeah there are some garbage energy drinks out there but when you look at a lot of what's on the market these days they have some great ingredients without nailing you with 300mg of caffeine and 87g of sugar lolI think most things in a lot of the popular preworkouts make more sense taken daily so my performance and nootropic ingredients I’m pretty much using anyways, toss in an energy drink mostly for caffeine in the early part of the day for me.
I generally want closer to 300mg total caffeine preWO for hard training, if my bp/fitness at the time will tolerate it.yeah there are some garbage energy drinks out there but when you look at a lot of what's on the market these days they have some great ingredients without nailing you with 300mg of caffeine and 87g of sugar lol

I find a very stark contrast between 200mg and 300mg of caffeine, I'd say I'm fairly sensitive however handling 200mg of caffeine probably alludes to a lack of sensitivity lol. I wonder if there's an order of magnitude with it, such as the difference between a pH of 3.0 and 3.1 is 10x...yeah there are some garbage energy drinks out there but when you look at a lot of what's on the market these days they have some great ingredients without nailing you with 300mg of caffeine and 87g of sugar lol
I think my own personal preference tends to vary quite a bit by season. Now that we have these beautiful 16hour PNW days I barely need a full cup of coffee and most of the "energy drinks" I might reach for mid day have only 80mg in them. The original rockstars only had like 160mg but 63mg of sugar as well.My preference is ~200mg caffeine, theanine, some phenyls, and theobromine, and far as cognitive and energy support is concerned.
I do prefer spicing it up with some DMAA
Original mesomorph was my bread and butterI think my own personal preference tends to vary quite a bit by season.

IIRC the All Out preWO we've been playing with is around 225mg but cafiene that high would likely only serve me well under a barbell. if I'm that high at a desk job I'm tweaking out.
come winter time, I can drink coffee till 4pm no problem though.

That stuff was SICK 400mg caffeine, 90mg DMAA, full serving of BA, and a few other goodies, that stuff was the real deal! I also loved the original Jack3d! That stuff was amazing. I got lucky and got about 1000 3 scoop packages of Jack3d, and about 400 6 cap packets of PowerFull their old GH product given to me when I stopped repping for USPLabs because they didn't want to pay shipping on the returns from my demos package. That and they owed me some product for using me as their poster boy in their pamphlets, and advertising. I used that Jack3d for over 2 years.Original mesomorph was my bread and butter
